TIPS & TRICKS - How to use Instruo Arbhar as a wavetable synthesizer

Dusty Clouds

"Hi friends,
In this video I am demonstrating how you can turn the Instruo Arbhar into a wavetable synthesizer. We take advantage of the 6 buffers by using them as a 6 sound wavetable and with some clever tuning you can imitate wavetable morphing while you scan between them.
Cheers!"

S.B.G. Basics - Connecting Effects Pedals - ALM006

ALM TV

"The ‘S.B.G’ is a compact utility module intended for the interfacing of guitar effect pedals with your eurorack modular system.

It provides both attenuation and amplification of audio signals for level matching together with a crossfade control to conveniently adjust the wet/dry mix of a processed signal. The module also offers regulation of outgoing CV signals for safer use of pedal expression inputs.

Here we look at how to connect up audio and expression CV to a typical effects pedal."

Instruo - Tš-L Overview

Instruō

"The Tš-L is back in stock with a couple of extra bonus features!

The Tš-L is a fully analogue voltage controlled oscillator with a plethora of features in a very small footprint.

Its triangle core circuitry allows for extremely consistent waveforms over a wide frequency range. The triangle foundation is used to generate its sine waveform which holds consistent shape and amplitude across the Tš-L’s wide range. The outputs consist of simultaneous Square/Sub, Triangle, and Sine waveforms, with additional voltage controllable wavefolder and complex PWM waveshaper.

Tš-L includes every feature needed to powerfully perform as a rich, ultra compact audio source, as well as functioning equally as a versatile modulation source."

10 The Dreadbox Typhon: Effects- Distortion

AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the set of distortion-based effects found on the Dreadbox Typhon.

The theme for this demonstration was recorded by multitracking the Dreadbox Typhon over drum patterns fashioned from GarageBand loops."

Slow Tempo Jungle Experiment [Novation Circuit / Volca Sample / Arturia Microfreak]

Flak Cannon

"Old school jungle is one of my favourite electronic music genres, so of course eventually I wanted to try my hands on that. Things did not go as expected since I could not get this track to work at the traditional higher BPM of jungle. Slow it down then! As an end result his experimentative jam was born.

The Novation Circuit isn't actually playing any music, I use it to control the Microfreak to play the pad sound. Volca Sample provides the slowed down amen break."

Korg Wavestate Jam - 4 arpeggiators

Waveformer

"A jam with a custom patch on the Wavestate - 4 arpeggiators, one for each layer, fading in and out, with some sound tweaking throughout the jam.

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

The Wavestate patch ("performance") consists of 4 layers:
- A: Arpeggiator #1 - Sample sequence of 15 different bell and synth sounds
- B: Arpeggiator #2 - Vocalscape sample
- C: Arpeggiator #3 - 16 step timing sequence with many rests. Shape sequence with some racketing.
- D: Arpeggiator #4 - 16 step sample sequence with misc percussive sounds. Timing lane with some rests with less than 100% probability.

The arpeggiators use different patterns, different speeds, and different sort settings, so the melodies created by the arpeggiators are different for each layer. Also, I have some rests in the timing lane for some of the layers, and have the filter LFO modulate filter cutoff frequency, so some notes are more muted than others. I usually add some randomness to the panning (using the LFO with a random waveform), and often let the amp envelope modulate filter envelope cutoff, so some notes are more plucky than others. All to create constant variation.

I have mapped the four top global mod knobs to wavesample octave (that was a lot of button pushing to program), and the four bottom global mod knobs to layer amp volume, so I can use these to fade each layer in and out.

The patch is called "WF Berlin Arp" and can be downloaded from files section of the "Korg Wavestate Q/A Sharing" facebook group.

The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R16 and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on iPhoneX. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 15."

DO YOU WANT A LEGENDARY 1985 SYNTH SOUND? Demo of Roland JX-8P

Microflat

"This video will demo a variety of fantastic and inspiring 1980's synthesizer sounds from the legendary grand old lady Roland JX-8P. This model has itches and scrathes from a long life on the road and this particular model literally smells like it has been around plenty of recording studios full of rockstars and groupies on the pipe.

Video clips were recorded in 4K (60 fps) on a Panasonic Lumix GH5 and edited in Adobe Rush. Audio was recorded in 192 KHz 24 bit on a Solid State Logic 2+ thunderbolt 3 audio interface straight into Propellerhead Reason 9. FX like a bit of reverb and limiter has been added in post-production in Adobe Audition."
